使用由资源保护和恢复法（RCRA）管理的设施的全国性调查，我们研究了社会空间分布的一个更大的组比以前的环境公平研究的危险材料处理。总的来说，我们发现RCRA管理的设施更有可能位于工人阶级社区，少数民族居民的比例较低。我们没有发现明显的环境不平等的证据。然而，RCRA设施靠近少数民族居民比例较高的社区。在非大都市地区，他们更有可能位于黑人居民比例较高的社区。
Using a national survey of facilities governed by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), we examine the sociospatial distribution of a much larger group of hazardous materials handlers than did previous environmental equity studies. Overall we find that RCRA-governed facilities are more likely to be sited in working class neighborhoods with lower percentages of minority residents. We do not find evidence of stark environmental inequities. RCRA facilities, however, are close to neighborhoods with a higher percentage of minority residents. And in nonmetropolitan areas, they are slightly more likely to be located in neighbourhoods with a higher percentage of black residents.
